Five year was a long time wasn't it? Laxus could barely think about how he spent his time during these years. He of couse wanted reflect on how he spent this time so he would set with a piece of paper in his hand with a pencil right next to him. He would then began writing down what he had done and how it has helped him grown during this intense time. But before he could go about the events of the five years he his mind drifted back to the day where he met with the Chowakage, which ironically was the start of this journey. This was where the young Jugo had agreed to become the Chowakage's student along with one other detail that would pop up in this rather brief version of this summary. In anycase Laxus needed to get his head back into the game he was going to finish this rather silly timeline he set in order himself. His first and biggest goal during the five years was gaining control of his beserk state or even better learning to limit the situations where it occurs to make it seemingly nonexistent. His new mastery of his Senjutsu powers and constant use of his Senjutsu Chakra was enough to make sure this was happening, this was all thanks to one man, the man who had also helped him reach the rank of Jounin in such a short amount of time, the Nidaime Chowakage, Okami Uchiha.

The man at the begining of his Journey had promoted him to Special Jounin after the exams because of the talent he saw and Laxus, and during their various training session Okami was sure to pull each and every bit of Talent from out of him. Now granted now all of the now eighteen year old Laxus' success hadn't been solely because of Okami, it was due to his very own will and strength which allowed him to push farther, do better, be stronger then before. These five years certainly let Laxus learn about ninja world and how much they needed ninja to both lead the village but as well as take and teach the next generation. But now was not the time to think about that as the war was coming, one in which the Chowakage had beat Laxus down to prepare him for. During this five year gap, Laxus would reach new heights of Sage Mode as well as unlock new skills and tricks along the way. Which all would be good during the war... While this timeline Laxus was slowly creating more vague then anything he had ever worked on it worked, he didn't want at drawn out explanation because he had lived threw it.

There was one last thing that Laxus had wanted to write down, his promotion to Jounin... Because of his sudden promotion to Special Jounin, Laxus was able to participate in the Jounin Exams that were held six months after the Chunnin Exams. This exam was held much sooner than normal due to the demand and need of ninja needed for the upcoming war. To say that the exams were easy would be a lie, Laxus in fact had struggled. While he had enough strength and speed to rival some of the Kage, he didn't have the experince and skill as most Jounin. He had only passed the Exam because his opponent was less experienced them himself despite his much older age. His blundered as the Jounin Exams showed him that despite he now held the rank of Jounin he didn't truly deserve it. This is why he would force himself to train harder and faster to become a man worth of protecting his village and his loved ones...
